The Castle Rock medical scribe course was originally set up for medical students that wanted an advantage before beginning their medical education. PAs, NPs, and nurses also quickly realized that scribing throughout Castle Rock took them to the top of their classes in professional Castle Rock-area medical school. The new group of people that we are seeing interested in scribing are Castle Rock-area people that choose this for a career. The advantage of a career scribe is that the Castle Rock physician does not have constant turnover. The disadvantage is that a Castle Rock, Colorado medical scribe that plans to work for a physician for 10+ years is limited by the pay that they can receive if they work for Castle Rock-area scribe companies.

At this time, the only way for a trained Castle Rock medical scribe to find a physician, and for a physician to find a trained scribe, is through a medical scribe company that operates in Castle Rock, Colorado. These companies typically charge the Castle Rock healthcare provider $23/hr, and pays the Castle Rock scribe minimum wage. When Scribes4Hire originated, we thought this discrepancy was ridiculous. There are many fees that go into developing a trained Castle Rock medical scribe including recruiting, education, insurance costs, taxes, accountants, and firm management. However, as a business serving Castle Rock, we have managed to limit them. We do not charge the Castle Rock, Colorado physicians as much as we could, and we attempt to compensate the Castle Rock scribes fairly. We have come to realize that the only way the Castle Rock scribe can truly get paid what they deserve is by working for the provider directly, which is why we developed Scribes4Hire. You will apply directly to the service of the Castle Rock-area physician, PA, or NP. In essence, the Castle Rock healthcare provider pays less and the Castle Rock scribes can be compensated more, removing the “middle man.”
